It's Kind of Like Speed Dating

Time really is flying by, because I feel like I just did a vlog, but alas, it's been a month, and it's time for The Girl Behind The Blog with Ashley at 5ohWifey and this month's co-host Nicole at Our Crazy Beautiful!

I learned a few things while filming this vlog:

I'm feeling more comfortable recording vlogs.

But it's still awkward, and I still hide away in a different room and close the door.

I shouldn't record vlogs after 9:00pm on a work night, because I lose my pep.

I need new scenery, because a white wall and artificial lighting are BORING.

It's hard to answer four questions in 2-3 minutes. And I'm sorry I went 15 seconds over, although I'm sure there is another blogger whose vlog is 4+ minutes long.

I won't record another vlog with my laptop while wearing glasses. Sorry for the screen reflection.

Anyway, on with the show!

** CORRECTION: Measure from thumb to pinky and multiply by 9. I said 7, because my hand measurement is 7.5. Oops!

Be honest. Did you measure your hands to see if they're proportionate? ;-) I hope you guys link up so I can learn a little more about you through your own voice!

You are so natural on the camera! I'm too scared to do a vlog because I sound so nerdy and like I have a really high pitched voice which I'm pretty sure I don't. Oh and my sister just said the same thing about centering the text the other day!

PLL- definitely my guilty pleasure. And... I use center-aligned text, but I do have a reason! Since my posts are so photo-heavy it seemed awkward when I posted my words in left-aligned and my images/captions in center... so I made it all center! Sorry it bothers you, though- I am the same way about frilly-font body text. I don't care if sidebar stuff or header stuff is frilly, but I want the body font to be normal and simple!! Oh, and I hate toilet paper rolled over the top... hopefully we can work through this and still be friends ;)

I definitely center my text most of the time and never realized it wasn't reader friendly.. thanks for saying something! I think it looks better but can definitely understand what you're saying and as a new blogger I appreciate the tips!:)

And way to be so revealing, man hands. Well done.I agree about the toilet paper...but am not sure I agree about center aligned text. I go back and forth about it (in my own mind, and my opinion of it on other blogs.) Sometimes the way I want to write seems suited toward it, and other times not. I'm riding the fence, baby!

Haha, I love your vlog! So cute! Thanks so much for sharing. :] I love that you said Pretty Little Liars, I don't watch it all the time, but if it happens to be on I ALWAYS...and I mean ALWAYS get sucked in. ha.

I'm pretty sure my hands are proportional although I didn't measure them, because two of my best college friends and I used to talk about our hands all of the time. One of them was six inches taller than me with the same size hands and the other was a few inches shorter than me with longer hands. Haha!

You definitely look like a Lindsay Marie instead of an Ashley Nicole. In my opinion, anyway :]

Toilet paper that rolls from the back and center-aligned text drive me crazy, too. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

1. youre a brat for calling me out on my blog time! ;-)2. ashley is an awesome name but there are seriously a million of us3. my hands are freakishly small- like midget hands4. i'm sorry for center aligning my text. Is right aligned terrible too? 5. my favorite thing to do is watch crime shows while eating ice cream. no lie

toooooooo funny about the Ashley Nicole thing! hahaha! agreed on the wrong rolling TP! I've changed it at my friends' houses before, LOL. center aligned text used to bug me but then I just figured oh well, it's a blog thing. sometimes I will do that for short posts =) I prefer full justified, tho.

2.) I didn't measure my hands, mainly because I refuse to until I google the truth behind that statement of 7x. I'm skeptical and I'll admit it.

3.) Another pet peeve of yours (unmentioned in your vlog) is when there are grammatical errors in writing, and so I am going to be the friend who calls you out on your own grammatical error in your blog. Look for the "their" that you put instead of the "they're". You'll find it, so I'm not going to tell you where it is, because I love you :)

Lindsay Marie, you are too adorable!! Even after a work night and with glasses...the glasses actually probably add to the cuteness...but I may be biased because I wear glasses most of the time haha. Also PLL is a damn awesome guilty pleasure to have. The story is just riveting...and from what I head A was working for someone else so the story continues. I don't know though. I haven't caught up yet. Waiting for season 2 to get on Netflix.

The Closer is also a really good crime show - i love those kinda shows. We watched PLL in the dorms all the time last year lol and my parents almost named me Ashley as well smh. My first cousin and I have the same birthday so we're exactly a year apart and guess what her name is? Nicole haha.

I love your vlogs! You are so dang cute! I love the crime shows too- especially Dexter- mostly because he's eye candy :) I also am not a huge fan of center aligned text, although sometimes I do it for design/balance purposes to break up the page... I can't help it! haha
